Group Classes during the winter period

Instead of doing 5 week courses I have opted to run 'Pay as you Go' classes during the winter period. As I'm using outdoor facilities it's very hard to plan courses as the weather in Melbourne is so unpredictable. On top of that, this means you don't have to keep a set amount of Saturday mornings free in your calendar.

With Pay as you Go you can choose to come to whichever class you like or your dog needs. You can repeat classes and still expect to learn new things, we will build on skills that you have learned in a previous session.

Classes will be held in either Point Cook or Werribee, so make sure you check the description.

Class fees will vary between $15 & $40 depending on the lesson.

To find out which classes are on and when check the 'Book Appointment' Tab or for events on my Facebook page!

During 3D Class we are working on general obedience skills but stepping it up and ensuring the behaviours last when we make things harder for your dog by adding duration (the amount of time they have to hold a position), by adding distance (giving the command from further away or walking away from the dog whilst in position) and distraction (anything we can think of that’s motivating for the dog that may make them break position).

Have a dog that LOVES tug? Are you interested in GRC but not really sure what it is about? During Drive Work Class we are working on really using your dogs biological needs. We’ll work on the flirt pole and springpole, we’re going to use the parachute. We’ll teach you how to make tug into a next level game. This class is great for bully breeds, but also working line german shepherds, field bred labs etc. The dogs that really NEED to work.

Social Pack Walk

Brain Breaker Class

Social Pack Walk

The social walk is a group walk. We’ll go to a different area and have a 30 - 60 min walk. This is where you can show of your skills and really work on walking nicely with your dog in the company of other dogs. If you do this regularly, your dog will become more and more relaxed with being around other dogs and being focused on you instead. This is only suitable for clients I have met and trained with before to ensure everyone’s safety in the walk.
